Jason Momoa‘s future as Aquaman has been up in the air for months now, and during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor addressed his casting.
In the new interview, Momoa was asked about his role as Aquaman and his overall status in the world of DC movies going forward. Momoa acknowledged that the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom film ushers in “the end” of the current DC Universe, but that he believes there will always be a place for him in the film universe.
“I mean, this is kind of like the end of this DCEU universe,” said Momoa. “Unless, you know, things have happened before so . . . I guess if people like it. But yeah, there will always be a place for me at DC. They like me.”
What do we know about Jason Momoa’s future in the DCU?
For months, rumors of Momoa potentially leaving DC or even switching up roles and stepping down as Aquaman to play Lobo have been floating around. DC Studios co-head Peter Safran spoke about Momoa’s future earlier this year, where he said that he expects Momoa will have a place in the DCU “for many years to come,” whether it be as Aquaman or someone else.
Momoa himself also hinted at a possible shake-up at the beginning of the year, saying that he would “always be” Aquaman, but may play other characters in the future. He also confirmed that he had met with Warner Bros. Discovery and had “great news” to share at some point.
Nothing is final, however, until confirmed by the studio itself.
